The document outlines the program structure and requirements for a Master of Engineering in Product Design and Development from the University of Mumbai. It details the courses, credits, examinations, and assessments for each semester of the 2-year program.

The program is split into 4 semesters. Each semester consists of both theory and laboratory courses. Courses include topics like product design, quality concepts, materials, CAD, CAE, ergonomics, and a dissertation. Electives are also offered each semester in areas like reliability engineering and product packaging.

The first semester includes core courses in product design and development, quality concepts, materials, and two electives. It also includes two laboratory courses in CAD solid modeling and rapid prototyping. Courses are worth between 1-4 credits each and have teaching loads of between 4-20 hours.
